Answer:

y = -3/2x + 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope would be -3/2 because you have to find the reciprocal and switch the sign. To find the y intercept you would plug in the points to the equation.

6 = -3/2(-3) + b

6 = 4.5 + b

1.5 = b

Explain two different ways to simplify 6/12

deff fn [24]

You can simplify it as...
3/6: Because that's 6/2 and 12/2, so the numerator and denominator recieve the same operations
2/4: Because it's 6/3 which = 2, and 12/4 which = 4
1/2: Because it's 6/6=1 and 12/6=2

Answer:

$\mathbf{ 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.3 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M denote the event that the stock makes money and D denote the event that the stock pays dividends.

It is given that $P(M) = 0.6$

Observe that the two events M and D are not independent because if the stock doesn't make money then it will not pay dividends. Therefore the event $D | M^{c}$ (D given M does not occur) is a null event, i.e
